sources · methodology · Nobel Prizes

Nobel expert predictions vs betting odds. Explore the context, source evidence and related Nobel Prize coverage.

Source date

Read each source within its own scope. A name appearing in several lists is a useful observation, not a calculated chance of winning.

Clarivate · Research recognition

Citation Laureates identifies influential research. Recognition is not a prediction of a Nobel winner in a particular year.

PRIO · Expert view

An expert list may recommend who deserves a prize. It does not disclose the committee’s confidential shortlist.

Polymarket · Market quote

Market prices reflect the contracts being traded. Prices, activity and settlement rules matter; a listed name is not an official nominee.

Kalshi · Market quote

Market prices reflect the contracts being traded. Prices, activity and settlement rules matter; a listed name is not an official nominee.

Metaculus · Community forecast

Community forecasts reflect the participants and outcome options in that question. Missing options and participation affect interpretation.

We do not publish an accuracy score: the current snapshots do not constitute a complete record captured before each announcement. A retrospective comparison needs a fixed cutoff, the original list and explicit scoring rules.
